Abstract (en)

[origin: US2011318974A1] A connector having a spring inserted internally in a compression or crimp connector, or in a bolted compression connector, in contact with the electrical conductors to be connected electrically wherein the spring is capable of being mechanically deformed during compression of the connector and wherein the spring is capable of maintaining its elastic resilience and elastic springback properties to generate and maintain the required compression force on the conductor. The spring may be a metal mechanical spring or formed of a resiliently flexible material, particularly a polymeric material.
